AGRICULTURAL MARKETING
A vast majority of the population of India lives in
villages and agriculture is the main profession.
In the olden times, the villages were self-sufficient and
the population was interdependent.
People exchanged what they produced.
The process of marketing of agricultural produce became more
and more complex.

CHARACTERISTICS OF
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT
(1) Uncertainty
(2) Heterogeneity of produce
(3) Perishability
(4) Seasonality
(5) Processing
(6) Bulkiness

CLASSIFICATION OF AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS
Agricultural products can be classified
into various categories on the following
basis:
(1) On the basis of season
Rabi and Kharif

(i) Rabi:
Sowing is done from October to December and
harvesting season is from March to May. The
various Rabi crops include wheat, gram, peas,
potatoes and barley.
(ii) Kharif:
Sowing for the crops is done from April to July
and harvesting is done from September to
December. The various crops of Kharif season
include rice, sugarcane, jowar, jute, bajra, maize,
cotton and groundnut.

(2) On the basis of encashability
The food crops refer to rice, wheat, barley,
maize etc.
While cash crops or commercial crops
include tea, coffee, rubber, oil seeds,
tobacco etc.

(3) On the basis of Perishability
It an be classified into two categories.
Perishable and nonperishable products.
Generally all the vegetables fall in the category of
perishable agricultural product
cereals and pulses can survive for years and
hence can be classified in the category of non-
perishable.

4) On the basis of processing
Some products require processing before they
are finally consumed
Sugarcane, cotton, jute, wheat, rice etc. require
processing.
But these cannot be concerned vegetables, milk
fishes etc. do not require any processing.

FUNCTIONS OF AGRICULTURAL
MARKETING
(1) Exchange Functions
(2) Physical Functions
(3) Facilitative functions

Classification agricultural markets
Primary
Secondary and
Terminal markets.

(1) Primary Markets
These are periodical markets locally known as ‘Haats’.
They are generally held once or twice a week.
The days on which these markets meet are fixed so
that traders can visit the area.
They are generally held in the open and along
roadsides in important or centrally situated localities.

(2) Secondary markets
These markets, also known as ‘Mandis’, are
regular wholesale markets and provide a
permanent place for daily transactions.
The work starts in them early morning and
continues till all transactions are over.
These markets are generally situated in the
towns, districts, and important trade centres.

(3)Terminal Markets
A terminal market is the place where the produce is
either finally disposed of to the consumer or to the
processor or assembled for exports.
Such markets are usually situated in metropolitan cities
like Delhi, Bombay, Madras and Calcutta etc. In these
markets, merchants are well organized and use
modern marketing methods.

Some important functionaries
operating at village level are
a) Big Cultivators
b) Village Merchants
c) Itinerant Traders.

Functionaries at mandi level
a) Arthatias
b) Brokers (Dalal)
c) Co-operative Marketing Societies.

OBJECTIVES OF AGRICULTURE MARKETING
To enable the primary producers to get the best
possible returns
To reduce the price difference between the primary
producer and ultimate consumer
To make available all products of farm origin to
consumers at reasonable price without impairing on
the quality of the produce.

AGRICULTURAL MARKETING PROCESS
Agricultural marketing process
(i) Assembling
(ii) Grading and standardization
(iii) Processing and Storage
(iv) Transportation
(v) Wholesaling and retailing

This document discusses rural retailing in India and the opportunities it presents. It notes that while urban markets were initially the focus, they became saturated forcing companies to look to rural markets. Rural markets account for 70% of India's population and present significant potential for growth. Characteristics of rural markets include increasing incomes, literacy rates, and family sizes. This has led to rising consumption, especially of factory produced goods, in rural areas presenting lucrative opportunities for retailers.

This document summarizes agricultural engineering research and development in Malaysia. It notes that while mechanization has increased in some areas like oil palm plantations, much of Malaysian agriculture remains traditional and manual. Agricultural engineering aims to modernize farming practices to increase productivity and competitiveness. However, there are constraints to greater adoption of agricultural engineering technologies, including high costs of imported machinery, shortage of agricultural labor, intense competition for resources from other industries, and limited water resources. The government is promoting mechanization and commercialization of agriculture to address these challenges.

The story of village palampur vishnu2003

The document summarizes farming and non-farming activities in Palampur, which has over 450 families. Farming is the main activity, with 75% dependent on agriculture for livelihood. Traditional farming involved growing jowar and bajra in the rainy season and wheat in the winter, but modern techniques have increased wheat yields from 1300kg/hectare traditionally to 3200kg/hectare now. However, increased chemical fertilizer use risks loss of soil fertility and declining groundwater. Land ownership is unequally distributed, with many landless families. Non-farm activities include dairy, small manufacturing, shops, and transport services.

Fodder chopping machines lead to a thriving livestock feed enterprise in rura...ICRISAT

��

Feed for livestock is the most important factor in successful livestock farming. In Sahelian countries such as Niger, cereal crop stover (leaves and stalks) are major sources of feed for ruminant animals, especially during the dry season. Many livestock farmers feed their animals whole plant residues of their crops, leading to wastage and also adversely affecting the digestion of animals. Others manually cut the stover into small pieces – a laborious and time-consuming process. Fodder chopping machines are proving to be a great help to livestock farmers in rural Niger, by providing suitable feed to their animals while saving their time and effort. In five villages, groups of farmers are making the most of an initiative to provide these machines to the farmers.

Types Of Agricultural Markets Class: LLB I Subject: Agricultural marketing Law Intro What is meant by agriculture marketing? Agricultural marketing is a process that involves the assembling, storage, processing, transportation, packaging, grading and distribution of different agricultural commodities across the country.What is Market?Traditionally, a market was a physical place where buyers and sellers gathered to buy or sell the goods. Markets can be classified on different bases. This classification is off-shoot of traditional approach On the basis of location or place or operation a) Village market: A market which is located in a small village, where major transaction takes place among the buyers and sellers of a village, is called village market. b) Primary market: These markets are located in towns near the centres of production of agricultural commodities. In these markets, a major part of the produce brought for sale by the producer-farmers themselves. Transactions in these markets usually take place between farmers and primary traders. c) Secondary wholesale market: These markets are located generally at district headquarters or important trade centres or railway junctions. The major transactions in commodities in these markets take place between primary/village traders and wholesalers. The bulk of arrival in these markets is from other markets. The produce in these markets in handled in large quantities. Therefore, there are specialized marketing agencies (commission agents, brokers, etc) performing different marketing functions d) Terminal markets: A terminal market is one where the produce is either finally disposed of to the consumers or processors or assembled for export. In these markets, merchants are well organized and use modern methods of marketing. Commodity exchange exists in these markets which provides facilities of forward trading in specific commodities. Such markets are present either in metropolitan cities or at seaports. Cont… e) Modern terminal market: The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India has taken initiative to promote modern terminal markets for fruits, vegetables and other perishable commodities in important urban centres of the country. These terminal markets are envisaged to operate on a ‘hub and spoke’ format where the terminal market (the hub) is linked to a number of collection centres (the spokes) to allow easy access to farmers for marketing of their produce. These markets are to be build, owned and operated by either a corporate, private or cooperative entity. Government of India has launched a scheme under which subsidy is available upto 25% for capital investment in agricultural marketing infrastructure for terminal markets with a ceiling limit of Rs 50 lakhs for private agencies. f) Seaboard markets: Markets which are located near

The document discusses the rural consumer market in India. It notes that around 70% of India's population lives in rural areas, consisting of over 600,000 villages. Rural consumers exhibit diverse behaviors and reactions to products compared to urban consumers. Their purchase decisions depend on the availability, affordability, acceptability, and their awareness of products. Various government programs have helped increase rural incomes and living standards over time. Marketers must properly understand rural consumers, segment the market, and tailor their products, pricing, distribution, and promotion strategies to be effective in rural India.

Rural marketing has evolved over four phases in India from the pre-independence period to the 21st century. It began as agricultural marketing but now aims for rural development through integrated solutions. Rural markets differ from urban markets in their large size but scattered nature, agricultural income base, and traditional outlook. Rural marketing takes a developmental approach rather than just transactions by focusing on social change, innovations, and narrowing rural-urban gaps over the long term. Marketers classify rural consumers by economic status into affluent, middle class, and poor groups. Major roadblocks to rural markets include low standards of living and literacy, unreliable income, and poor transportation and warehousing infrastructure.

This document provides an overview of rural marketing and agriculture production in India. Some key points: - India is a major global producer of agriculture, ranking 2nd in farm output and among the top 5 producers for many crops. Agriculture contributes 18% to India's GDP. - Marketing of agricultural produce is complex due to the perishable and seasonal nature of crops. It has traditionally involved many middlemen, exploiting farmers. - Cooperative marketing societies were formed to help increase farmer incomes and reduce exploitation. However, only a few have succeeded in processing industries. - Regulated markets were established to improve quality of produce and ensure fair prices for farmers through transparency. They are democratically managed committees.

This document summarizes a study on the marketing of agricultural crops in rural markets in Ambedkarnagar District, India. Some key findings: 1. Vegetables accounted for the highest volume (42%) of crops sold in rural markets, followed by wheat (21%) and rice (17%), due to their perishability. 2. Most farmers prefer selling in local rural markets rather than farther markets due to lack of transportation and storage infrastructure. 3. Prices of crops varied across markets depending on location, demand, supply and transportation costs. 4. Non-producer sellers, including unemployed villagers, accounted for 70% of sellers on average, selling crops to supplement their income. 5
